Remember that one of the chief reasons for planting things like holly as a
hedge is to make your property secure, this is one of the things advocated
by many Police forces.
Nice soft hedges are easy for people to push through..unless you hide a
barbed wire fence in the middle.
Remember also NOT to plant bushes conifers by your front door so blocking it
from view, this makes it easy for someone to Lurk whilst opening your door
when you are out/away without your neighbours seeing whets going on,
